Whose office is in the Flood Building, has been a resident
of California for the past ten years, during which time he has practiced for six
years in Los Angeles and in San Francisco about two and a half years. He was
born in Tipton, near Birmingham, England, in May, 1850, and received his early
education in the schools of his native town. At about the age of twenty-two
years he left home and traveled through Canada and the United States, and
proceeded to Australia, where he spent seven years, traveling in New Zealand and
Australia. He returned to the United States in 1879 and entered the American
Eclectic Medical College of Ohio, where he graduated in 1882, receiving his
degree as Doctor of Medicine, and at the same time received the honorary diploma
of Doctor of Medical Laws. He then entered upon the practice of his profession
at Los Angeles, where he remained six years. Coming to San Francisco in
December, 1888, he commenced practice here, and has since built up a large and
lucrative business. Dr. Robbins makes a speciality of chronic and nervous
diseases, in the treatment of which he has been very successful.
